Ah, who needs that stuff? I just had my first QSO on my new homebrew amplifier: 900 watts out from a pair of class-C 813's! Instant on and full QSK. Of course it has separate grid and plate bandswitches and three tuning controls to adjust, one of which is a multiturn vacuum capacitor, but it's imposing as all get out with four analog meters (2 of which are super-cool Western Electric center-adjust types).
